FAQs

What size holes are these caps designed for?

These Holefix Caps are specifically designed for 5mm (approximately 3/16 inch) diameter holes.

What materials can these caps be used in?

They are ideal for timber-based materials like laminated or solid wood, MDF, and particleboard. They can also provide grip in metal or plastic holes.

Do I need any tools to install them?

No, the Holefix Caps are designed for a simple press-in installation and do not require any tools.

Will these caps fall out easily?

No, the caps feature a ridged stem designed to bite into timber materials, ensuring a secure fit that prevents accidental dislodging.

How do these caps help with cleaning?

By covering the holes, they create a smooth surface that prevents cleaning cloths from snagging, making interior surfaces much easier to wipe down.

Can these be used for anything other than covering holes?

Their primary purpose is aesthetic coverage and preventing snags. They are not designed for load-bearing or structural applications.

What is the finish of these caps?

These caps have a white finish.

Troubleshooting

Cap does not stay in place

Ensure the hole is 5mm (3/16 inch) and clean. If using in metal or plastic, ensure the hole is smooth and try pressing the cap in more firmly. For timber, ensure the ridges are making good contact.

Cap is difficult to insert

Check for obstructions in the hole. If using in very dense wood, a light tap with a rubber mallet might assist, but do not force excessively.

Cap is loose after insertion

The hole may be slightly larger than 5mm. Try a different hole or consider using a small amount of wood glue for a permanent fix (note: this will make removal difficult).
